Is Poe really going to have a DNA test? Normal people seek who their bio-parent are, why didn't she?

Just because she will present a DNA test proving who her parents are, it does not mean that it should be accepted as proof. The government should have an independent test done to confirm if she is indeed a natural born Filipino.

Personally, her being a natural born Filipino is a non-issue for me.

My issue is with her character.

She dumped her Filipino citizenship to become a US citizen because it was convenient. Then she dumped her US citizenship to become a Filipino citizen again. Then she dumped PNoy who groomed her to be where she is right now. However, her children refuse to dump their US citizenship. If the children have so much faith in their mother's leadership, that she can bring this country forward, then why not give up their citizenship now?

Perhaps her family have doubts too, or maybe she does everything for convenience.

Atty. Alex Poblador, lawyer of Poe, said: “I have been authorized to say that the respondent [Poe] has taken steps towards having a DNA test with a probable biological match.”

Poe’s citizenship is being questioned before the Senate Electoral Tribunal. A petitioner said she is not a natural born Filipino since her parents were not known.

Poe was found outside the church of Jaro, Iloilo in 1968. She was adopted by celebrity couple Fernando Poe Jr. and Susan Roces in 1974.

“DNA match is a conclusive presumption that would solve all our problems here. You can’t argue with that anymore,” Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, SET chairman, said after Poblador said they will inform the Tribunal once the result is out.

DNA taken from ‘siblings’

Meanwhile, Poe told reporters that the DNA tests were taken from the “siblings,” and not from her possible biological parents. She did not elaborate, except for saying that these private individuals were the ones who had approached her and offered to undergo the procedure.

But asked if she felt something different when she saw the siblings, “Basta ang masasabi ko napaka-gentle, mabait malumanay magsalita. Baka pwede,” Poe said followed by a hearty laugh.

Poe said the result of the DNA test was expected to come out after three weeks.

While the procedure was undertaken in the Philippines, she said, the samples was brought to other country for testing.

Poe’s lawyer, George Garcia, said the people who approached Poe apparently came from Iloilo, where she was abandoned and found by the late actor Fernando Poe Jr. and veteran actress, Susan Roces. Tetch Torres-Tupas and Maila Ager.
